Mesotherapy: Procedure, Side Effects, and More
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting vitamins, enzymes, plant extracts, and sometimes hyaluronic acid into the middle layer of the skin. Originally developed in France, it is now popular worldwide for skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, and hair loss treatment.
The Procedure
During mesotherapy, a practitioner uses very fine needles to deliver a series of microinjections directly into the targeted area. A typical session lasts 20–40 minutes, and multiple sessions may be required depending on the goal (anti-aging, brightening, cellulite reduction, etc.).
Benefits
Improves skin hydration and elasticity
Reduces fine lines and dullness
Stimulates collagen and circulation
Can help reduce localized fat deposits
Possible Side Effects
As with any injection-based treatment, side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are usually mild and temporary. Serious complications are rare if the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.
Mesotherapy continues to gain popularity as a natural and customizable approach to skin and body rejuvenation.
